23. RTH 1963 C. melanotos 21 jumbanas, Alaska it is the same one or not is not known) seems to keep after the & at time. The other B& seemed to be chasing the first & - I wouldn't be surprised if there was a chase crew - depending on the where territory the birds were in [I feel that 1& may do after the & - but they seem the BB's areas and they start chasing). In flight & occasionally from the ground, The & gave her call note: which allowed for her to be identified readily. As mentioned previously - she was involved in these chases for over 30 min (see time. She ducked off & kept hider - while the BB's chased each other - but they soon found her again). The amount/ chasing in which she participated, the high frequency / her call notes / her lack / "hiding" in the grass - would suggest that she was an unmated bird - or at least hood me clutch. Bill (8) well chase - tend to reject BB's, by term Honey Bee is an aggressive future hidden in the grass. when B& fly, are, calling less frequently, & usually fly low - rarely is kept - album arid chase.
